Carrie Mikulka (she/her)

I offer an individualized and person-centered approach. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and our work together will reflect that. We will collaborate throughout the therapeutic process and co-construct how we spend our time together. I have received training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness based interventions. One off my favorite aspects of DBT is that it is full of tangible skills that I teach clients to use in their everyday life. That way, we can help you get through day-to-day struggles while also tackling the root cause and wounds that are increasing your symptoms (like anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, emotion dysregulation). I also utilize attachment theory, which means we will explore early childhood and take time to build our therapeutic alliance to help promote healing.

I believe that people whole just as they are. I do not think you are "broken" or need to be "fixed". I believe that all humans are worthy of dignity and respect. I am here to help you to reconnect with your authentic self and discover your inherent worthiness. As someone who has had their own experiences with anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-worth, I know how limiting these beliefs can be and how transformative therapy can be. Whether you are exploring aspects of your identity, facing new life challenges, or unpacking old patterns of behavior, I will join alongside you through this exploration to witness your courage, growth, and authenticity to help you lead the life you want to live.
